<P>Linux is the operating system of the future.  It is a full-featured, very 
stable, open clone of the UNIX&reg operating system.  I run Linux on my Texas 
Instruments TravelMate 4000M notebook computer.  My present system is
based on the Red Hat 3.0.3 distribution, and now features the Linux 1.3.100 
kernel, the X Window System in full color, hot-swappable PCMCIA card support, 
10baseT ethernet, a SCSI II bus, full support for 16 bit stereo sound and MIDI,
joystick support, and a 14.4 modem.</P>

<P>To do my part to give back to the Linux community that has given me so much,
I have maintained the 
<!WA2><!WA2><!WA2><A HREF="http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/">
Linux Laptop Home Page</A> since October 1995, and the 
<!WA3><!WA3><!WA3><A HREF="http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/volunteer.html">
Linux Laptop Volunteer Support Database</A> since January 1996.  An article
I've written, "Linux on Mobile Computers," was published by the 
<!WA4><!WA4><!WA4><A HREF="http://www.linuxjournal.com/"><I>Linux Journal</I></A> in their 
<!WA5><!WA5><!WA5><A HREF="http://www.ssc.com/lj/issue26/index.html">June, 1996</A> issue.
